However, I know that there have been times when I've felt really low. At those times, repeating positive messages to myself only serves to remind me that I need to tell myself positive things because things are so bleak. So there's a conscious, proactive positive thought immediately followed by an unbidden negative thought - so in that instance, the positive thinking only serves to remind me that I don't believe the positive thoughts so it does more harm than good. If you see what I mean. It doesn't happen often or all the time, but I am aware that it happens when I am at my lowest. I’m a fan of optimism and positive thinking.

For a whole week I had to think for a minute about something good that happened to me the day before. It was really effective. Although I do practice gratitude and smile so am generally happy anyway.
